SCS Direct Gaga Dessert Themed Playground Balls (8.5 inches) w Air Pump- Durable Rubber Pack for Recess Dodgeball, Kickball, Gagaball Official Play & School -Fun Outdoor Toys & Gifts for Kids

These balls seem great, but there was a hole in one right out of the package. It won’t stay inflated. It’s difficult to return inflated balls.

These balls are cute with their sweets designs but the quality is questionable. The first one I inflated was the swirl candy and it inflates easily but the graphic on it is pretty messed up (creased and missing in many spots) and there are a couple spots where it looks like the rubber ball itself was sliced, creating potential weak spots. The chocolate donut was next and it’s pretty good aside from some scuff marks. After that was the cupcake which is probably the best quality one except for the one weird spot which is hopefully only a scuff mark. Last was the pink donut which is also pretty good except for the dirty/scuffed up area. Yes, these balls are going to get scuffed up and dirty as they get played with but they shouldn’t arrive that way. I like that it came with a hand pump and needle, which are low quality but get the job done. I’m not sure how long these balls will last and they seem a bit pricey, but they are good sized rubber balls.

Four donut-looking balls are included, along with a pump. The balls are nearly 9 inches in diameter when inflated. They feel just like the ones we had in elementary school, and bounce the same too, so they're as "soft" as a bouncy ball can be. The pump was easy to use. It took me 1-2 minutes to inflate each ball by hand. Be sure to lubricate the ball hole with a little water before inserting the needle. You should probably avoid touching the needle right after pumping a ball because it will be hot due to the air compression. I thought the designs were painted on but upon closer inspection I can see that they're vinyl overlays, probably heat-wrapped to the surface, as the pink swirl ball is already showing signs of peeling.

Popped both very soon after purchase with regular play

Had hole in one of the balls
